HC Deb 18 March 1912 vol 35 c1683W
Mr. CLAUDE LOWTHER

asked the Prime Minister whether he will secure the admission of the Press to all future conferences of owners and miners during the coal strike, in order that the full force of public opinion may be directed against whichever party adopts an obstinate policy of non-compromise?

The PRIME MINISTER

The conferences referred to are now over. I do not think that the admission of the Press would have facilitated discussion.
